Quasi-mythical pointy-headed being who makes comics, most notably "Phoebe and Her Unicorn" and "Ozy and Millie." She/her.

Guess what awesome comics anthology I just got my hands on? (Due out 9/26)
Dana Is Working Through Some Things, starring Lisa Simpson.

On this day in 2014, Phoebe and Her Unicorn book one came out.

The strip was still called Heavenly Nostrils then, and the original full title was β€œPhoebe and Her Unicorn: A Heavenly Nostrils Chronicle.”

It went on to sell over a million copies (so far) and win a 2015 Washington State Book Award.

Lots of fascinating perspectives and amazing talent here. Also, is it just me or does everyone have a more interesting comic name than me? "Dana Simpson." That's just, like, a random name. I kinda wish I'd made comics as Rain Ruin (the name I make music under) but that's a tangent.
"The Out Side: Trans & Nonbinary Comics," a really neat anthology I had the honor of creating a comic for, is now preordering! https://publishing.andrewsmcmeel.com/book/the-out-side-trans-nonbinary-comics/

Wishing my dear Sofia a happy 9th birthday!
I see boats.
Normally I don't share sketches, but this one just makes me feel so good. I sketched this for my sister @danacorn , who is Leon The Lion's number one fan in the world. Have your birthday at Pizzeria Circus and make your special day the specialest! ...and please don't tell anyone about this number because we do *not* have the rights to this song. #pizzeriacircus #valerievalentina #leonthelion #animatronic

I did not know Peter S. Beagle was going to be here at the Last Unicorn ballet, so it’s a lovely surprise! I hadn’t seen him in a few years.

(I had him sign my program even though I already have a pretty significant collection of Peter autographs.)
